Title: Improvements in Chain Grate Stokers.
Filed: 1906-06-02
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 12,891. Babcock & Wilcox, and Parker, A. E. June 2. Driving and like chains. -A chain-grate stoker is made up of grate-bars A, bevelled at both ends a, and provided at the middle with triangular projections or snugs a<1>. These snugs fit into the shape between the bevelled ends of adjacent grate-bars, and cover up the vertical openings between the bars, thus forming an air seal and minimizing the riddling of the coal. The snugs may be formed on either side or both sides of the links. The grate clears the dumping-plats D in turning round the roller, so that the plate does not have to be unduly raised to destroy the air seal.

Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 5350. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 5. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The end thrust is balanced by causing the working-fluid to pass through all the stages in series, but through one or more of the intermediate stages in a direction opposite to that in which it passes through the preceding and succeeding stages.

Title: Improvements in Means for Preventing Inductive Disturbances in Telephone and other Electrical Transmission Circuits.
Filed: 1907-06-04
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 12,932. British Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., [Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co.]. June 4. Telegraphs; telephone systems.-To compensate the disturbing electromotive forces produced by an alternating-current power or other circuit 1, 2, Fig. 1, in a neighbouring circuit 5, such as a telegraph or telephone line, the latter is connected by one or more transformers 7 to an auxiliary line 6, in which currents are set up by the same disturbances and induce an electromotive force to the line 5 equal and opposite to that produced by the circuit 1, 2. Disturbances caused by electro-magnetic or electrostatic induction or by stray currents in the earth are thereby compensated. The lines 5, 6 and the points at which they are earthed should be as close as possible. Both lines may have metallic returns, and a number of transformers may be distributed along them, in order that the induced electromotive forces may not be too great at any part of the line. When two or more telephone lines run side by side, they may have coils arranged on common transformer cores, a single auxiliary line being used ; or they may have separate transformers and separate auxiliary lines. Fig. 5 shows the application of the invention to the Van Rysselberghe system of combined telegraphic and telephonic transmission.

Filed: 1907-12-31
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 28,757. Krokert, F. Dec. 31. Printing in imitation of surfaces of woven fabrics; printing on metal plates; printing combined with embossing and stamping substances other than metals. -Paper, or in some cases metal plates or other surfaces, are printed with a rough matte design on a smooth shining background, or vice versa, by printing the design or the background, and covering, while still moist, with a pulverulent substance, such as wool dust, wood dust, &c., the whole being finally varnished and, if desired, printed upon in colours. The relief may be increased by repeating the operation as often as desired, or if it is specially high relief, by applying coloured powder. In some cases, the relief is formed by embossing either before or after the printing operation. Also the surface may be given a primary uniform coating before forming the pattern. Special printing- plates may be employed to increase the relief in parts by printing only the high portions of the patterns ; also plates on which the picture is divided in accordance with the uneven surface may be used for the final printing, and produce effects in imitation of pastel painting. The process is also useful in imitating woven fabrics, embroidery, lace, &c.

Title: Ignition Apparatus for Large Internal Combustion Engines.
Filed: 1908-07-18
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 15,262. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Sept. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and like engines, igniting in. Two or more electromagnetically - operated sparking - plugs, arranged in series or parallel, are operated simultaneously in each cylinder by means of a battery or magneto machine. Fig. 2 shows one arrangement of the apparatus in which the magneto winding consists of a single coil earthed at the centre. The other ends of the coils are connected to contacts b<1>, b' which rotate with the armature and engage fixed brushes c<1>, c' connected to the plugs d', d<2>. When the interrupter e opens the short circuit between the ends of the coil, the current passes through each plug simultaneously and back to the magneto winding through the earthed connexion. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement for a two-cylinder engine having pairs of plugs in each cylinder. The rotating segments b<1>, b' are connected to the ends of a single armature winding, and the fixed brushes c<1> ... c<4> are connected to the plugs d<1> ... d4. When the interrupter contacts e break the short circuit between the segments b<1>, b', the current flows through the sparking-plugs d', d' or through the plugs d<3>, d' according to the position of the segments. The armature winding may consist of two coils a', a<2> one end of each of which is earthed and connected in series or in parallel. A distributor is shown for use with a double-acting single-cylinder four-stroke-cycle engine. In an engine of this type the intervals between successive ignitions are alternately equal to the time taken in making one and three strokes of the piston. The pairs of brushes are therefore arranged at right-angles to one another, and are engaged by rotating segments on a disk rotating at half the speed of the motor shaft. The arrangement may be extended to double-acting multiple-cylinder engines by modifying the distributing-apparatus. The rotating segments may be formed on the periphery of a drum and be engaged by radial brushes, or the brushes may rotate and engage fixed segments connected to the magneto windings. The brushes may act as commutators if desired. The magneto apparatus can be replaced by a battery, also any known means of adjusting the time of ignition can be used with the apparatus.

Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 20,649. Leask, H. N., and Damour, E. Oct. 1. Refuse-consuming furnaces.-The products of combustion from a refuse destructor are passed through regenerators in which the air supply for combustion is subsequently heated. The refuse-consuming cells A are connected by combustion chambers B to regenerators C through one of which, according to the position of the dampers E, the products of combustion pass on their way to the flues beneath the boiler F and the tubes of an air-heater G. The air from the latter is supplied to the ash-pit for primary combustion, preferably in large quantities at a moderate temperature, while for the regenerators a smaller quantity at a high temperature is supplied for secondary combustion. If the temperature of the gases is not high enough, the boiler may be omitted. In a modified arrangement, the boiler is situated to the rear of the regenerators. In a further modification, the regenerators are so connected that the products of combustion always pass from the furnace in the same direction.
